{ OUR WAR GOVERNOR.
A few years ago?say a decade? I,
i 1 *
there was a theory, widely held in J
South Carolina, that the Governor
was more or less of a figurehead and c
really had very little power. Then :
conditions came about as a result of ,
which, the people learned to the consternation
of many of then^that they
had 'been badly mistaken when they t
accepted this view. It was discovered f
that the governor might have very de.; t
cided powers in more ways than one; j ^
but especially in advertising the State
from the one end of the land to the ,
other?and not necessarily to its ?
profit. j j.
Recollection of these things add3
?
point to the satisfaction with which
;South Carolinians are able to read the n
handsome things which have been ^
nhr?nt ityiic State's record in the
war coupled as they are with tributes '
to the leadership of the present gov- *
ernor. In Joe Chappie's National Magazine^for
September, for example, one
of the most important articles is en- j
titled. '"South Carolina's War Gover-,
nor/' and two pages are devoted to j g
pictures of Governor and Mrs. Man-1 f
nng jtnd their six sons in the serv- j ?
ice. The text reviews the governor's ; r

the prosecution of the war. .
We do not believe there is any one j (
who has felt this war more deeply j j
than Gorrnor Manning and it must ; j
stand to his credit always that from ; j
the very 'beginning, when many who j,
^ are now ready to lead the shouting ! ?
"were still feeling their way and seek- j <

boldly and unhesitatingly and never j j
once has wavered. If. as the National j
Magazine remarks, "the spirit of I
"South Carolna in the wars of other 2
vears is seemingly being revivified j (
today," Richard I. Waning has had j,
n lead^njr part in bringng this about ! s
with such prompt and gratifying re- j j

All of which is well said and very ! s
true. We honor Gov. Manning upon j
the fact that he was permitted to (3

Somehow when we read this story e
ve could not help thinking what a n
irivilege it was to have six fine young t
ons in the army of their country, t
nd all of them so rear home, antf g
mno rvf thpm vet. in the firing line f
.nd within the range of the German
irtillery. And what a remarkable concidence
that while some of them
lad been in the service since the
roops were sent to the (border two
'ears and more ago, yet all of them
vere stll in this country, and that
lone of them had had the privilege of
joing to the front and across the
eas. 1 g

THE KING'S JESTER. 11
!,
It seems to me that I read a Ions: ^
ime ago somewhere in Shakespeare .
>r some other good oia dook mat m
he good old days of Kings, that there ?
vas a very important personage in (
me of his plays known as the King's ;
Fester. And that such a person was c
ictually a real person. It was his ?
i
>usiness to amuse' the King and to ^
jive the royal family a pleasant time ; r
vhen the burdens of state were heavy ^
tnd hard to bear. He was really a ! j
rery important person and an append - j ]
ige to be reckoned with in the palaces 1 c
>f the kings. That was in the good' <
)ld days before we had given democ- t
acy to all the world and made the ?
vorld safe for democracy. (j
?o? * | (
Well, somehow on Tuesday th?s; j
story of the king's jester came to 1
nirid and T felt that in away V was j j
icting the part, not that the gentle- j
nan with whom I journeyed in the i
east made me feel that he was the j <
vin?, or arew any uisluh-iiuuc ui t
>r anything of the xind. but I just .
iould not imagine any other capacity i
n which I made the trip that I did. i
:bouerh I enjoyed it and feel better for
laving made it, and it was altogether ]
i very pleasant journey. But I had
ibsolutely no business except to go
ilong. And when I thought of the I
vork T had to do and should do I j !
? ? l ' i
?uess it made me reel tnat i was reai- i
y a joke on the journey. I
T had worked very hard on Monday '
tnd was very tired when evening I I
ame and retired rather early for me !
*'ith no thought of anything but resuming
the daily grind the next mornne;.
At 11 o'clock Monday night the i i
phone at my residence rang out clear, 1
tnd strange to say that it had for a
sveek or more refused to answer or
nake a call, and no one naa worKec
Dn it. It was rather startling to hear j
t. But a friend called to know if T j
would make a trip with him the next j
morning to Greenville. I agreed, just
to get awrav somewhere, and then 11
always like to go to Greenville. But-,
when he said he wanted to start at S
a. m. I almost balked, but concluded
that I would be game, and yet to start;
out at that hour did not sound muob (
like rest, and yet on the tneory tnas
change is rest I guess it was.
He drove up to our gate at 5:30 and
we started. We were to 'breakfast i*i
i
Greenville. With a good heavy car
and good roads the trip could easily,
be made in three hours. The roads
are not good, however, and we drove .
into Greenville exactly at 9 o'clock j
The Newberry end is genarally very .
good, but it has had no application !
of the split losr drag and the holes are j
fierce, and the same is true of the j
i
Laurens end, and even the million j
dollar bond roads of Greenville are j
a,bout in the same condition, if not a {
little more so, on account of the gravel
and rocks that were mixed with the

op dressing that was put down and
Voh was washed away and left the
ooks and in many places holes and
;"'?";iie.s and cotton rows and ridges all
^rross the road. I have always heid
hat it was useless to 'build what we
aim permanent roads unless at the
ame time some provision were made
or maintenance, and the Greenville
>ermanent road is a ^ood illustration
>f the position. When i was
>ver these reads in the early part of
he year they were fine, but now they
ire eaten in holes and the driving !over
hem is difficult. The streets through
fountain Inn and Simpsonville have
lot improved either. The speed limit
s 10 miles the hour, and my friend
aid he would try to make it, but in
he effort he knocked us about some
tt'.e. iPity we could not have a good
oad from Newberry to the mountain
iity.
?o?
ftiy friend drove a Dodge runabout
md it does run pretty and he did nc*<
change gear from Newberry to Green,
rille, which is most as good as 111
ioes. Mr. Friday who drove 111 to
Spartanburg said he did not change
jear from Newberry to Spartanburg
;nd there are more hills that way. 1
juess he drove with some momentum,
-eavins; a5? early as we did of course
[ thought we would get back in the
jarly afternoon, but after we got out
!ome distance I was informed that
he meeting my friend was going to
tttend did not take place until 4:30
n the afternoon. Just wanted to be
)n time I reckon. JBut he went to

:n our arrival and we parted to meet
it the Imperial hotel at; 12 o'clock.
After I was alone it occurred to me
that it was a very early hour for
lunch, but [ was there. I met Ej
Blease and talked with him for an
tiour but my friend failed to come. I
ivent over to see Dr. J, P. Carlisle
\nd had a tooth filled and went back
to the hotel, but saw no one I knew.
3o I concluded that my friend had
been temporarily lost and that I had
setter lunch, which I did. They
serve a good lunch at this hotel for
75 cents. My friend, he lunched at
the same restaurant at which we had
breakfast, so I learned afterward.
\

T had a pleasant half hour with
Geo. Koester of the Piedmont. He
says they have more than they,can
do, and the place has the air of prosperity
and the offices are nicely fitted
up and it looks like it would 'he a
pleasure to work there. I also spent
a half hour with 1C0I. Ryon 'McKissick

has concentrated its attention upon the
chemical industries. American discoveries
have followed in such rapid succession that
only the scientilic iournals have been able
to chronicle them all. The latest and one
of the most serviceable in the field of
medicine is the perfected headache tablet
called Aspitone, in which the heart depressing
tendency is deftly counteracted
by heart toning elements.
Physicians and druggists maintain that
it should and will take the place of all
powders and tablets for headaches, neuralgia,
colds, la grippe and general pains.
